Paras stop to pull cars out of flood water

Paratroopers helped rescue drivers stuck in flood waters as they returned from exercise.

The soldiers, from 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, were on their way back from a training exercise in Thetford, when they saw a number of cars submerged in flood-water in Tostock, Bury St Edmunds at about 8am on Friday.

The four members of the anti-tank platoon spent about 30 minutes moving the cars to a safe area.
